Quick, EASY, cheap, Xmas Gift!

 Hi everyone! Today I will show you QUICK SIMPLE and CHEAP Christmas Gifts!

With Christmas LITERALLY tomorrow, you know that one person that you either work with, loosely know, or want to give an extra gift to. Well, no more wondering! For this, all you need is a few bands and optionally beads. Almost everyone knows the big trend--Rainbow loom. But, that's not it! But, Rainbow Loom and other brands sell re-fill packs. But, if you don't know what Rainbow Loom is, it's a Loom where you link bands together to make braceleet. (I will be posting a more vivid Post about this, later) All you need is a few Rubber bands to make these cute rings!


1 - SIMPLE STYLE (Beads Optional)BEGINNER LEVEL

 Ok, for this one you just need 2 bands. First step- take the first rubber band, and take the second one and put it through the first. It should look like this.

 Now, the band you pulled through, pull both sides so it looks like 2 bands.

 Now, please Listen to this part. We will be doing a Slip Knot, and we need to do this in all the rings. So, take ONE SIDE of the band. Pull it through the other side. The Side of the Band you put through the other one, pull hard. It should become a little Knot ... (Ring Shown Above)

This is the Optional Version. All you have to do is take a bead (Please, one with a BIG hole) Preferably a pony bead, and put it through the bands.

 Please make sure the Bead is Centered, covering the knot.

 It SHOULDN'T be slanted to one side, it should be centered.

 Above is the WRONG way to do it.



2 - Fountain Burst (No beads)EXPERT LEVEL

 For this pattern you need 5 bands. 4 of the 5 bands should be colorful, like a fountain. Use any colors you like, but these 4 bands are the ones that are bursting out of the ring.

 First, take your 4 rubber bands and put them on your fingers. For this one, you'll need to use your feet!!

 Take your fifth band and put it on one big toe. Stretch it and turn it onto the other toe.

 Put your 4 bands through the band on your toes, and pull both sides. it should look like the image below!

 Now, this is the HARD part. Take the bottom half of your 4 bands and put it up and through the other side of your single band. Now, do the Slip Knot, mentioned in the first pattern. Pull down, and remove from your toes. Spread the loose bands out to create a fountain like burst!

3 - Rolling Tire (Bead MUST HAVE) Beginner to Intermediate

 This is the last pattern, the Rolling Tire. it's a Rolling Tire because the bead us positioned on it's side. Please use a pony bead with a big hole to do this pattern.

 Take one band, and with your pony bead pull it through.

 Now, stretch it far apart. Now, be careful. Take one end and do the Slip Knot Mentioned in Pattern one. This is your final product!

Tada! I hope these easy patterns helped for your Christmas Needs! Merry Christmas and I hope you all have fun. I will be posting a TON more--I have a lot of pictures ready!!!!

See you next time

Popin Cookin Edible Clay!

Hey everyone! Shelby here and today I will be showing you all Popin Cookin edible clay how to!!!

I did this kit with my friend Margo and my brother Preston. I thought I had lost these files when they got inputted into the wrong format, but I found them. A year and a half later.

Anyway, there is the kit. I love it because it is sooo bright and cheery and colorful and cats and hamburgers, it's just happy. Also, this is Preston with his Japanese Candy Spray he gotten a few hours before.

The eggs and sausage is really cute, and thats the one Margo will be doing. But, my philosophy was
to be a creative genius and create my own food.

It comes with pink, blue, white, yellow, and a bit of black clay. It IS edible, like that peanut butter Play-dough people sometimes make. I know these clays look relatively large, and so does the kit, but each one is just a bit fatter and longer than my thumb. And the kit? Only the size of and width of let's say, the Little Women novel.

I took a bit of the yellow clay, and am rolling it out to make Tamago Sushi (learn more about sushi in my Popin Cookin Sushi How to blog post!) Tamago sushi, If you don't know, is basically sushi omlet.

"Rice" If only real rice would be so nice as to mold easily, hmm?

Turning out pretty nice! (Notice the little detail I put into the Omlet Fish :3)

Finished product! Dude, I don't need no stinkin' instructions. C'mon.

Oh, and Margo is making eggs and bacon! (Cough cough, on the box instructions...) So far she has the eggs and the plate...I have to say the plate was hard to make. you had to make a bit of a rim on the outside so it wouldn't look like a food-colored pancake...The egg business was easy. Circle in circle...I suggest doing this when you get your first Edible Clay set.

finished product! Plus, the sausages are super easy. Just get a ball of clay and rolllllll!

Margo, feeling happy about herself.

Also included in the package? Sprinkles! For all your doughnut needs! There are 'pellet' sprinkles, and sphere sprinkles.

We used the sprinkles for a Lollipop.

And, in addition to my sushi, I added Wasabi and Ginger. Just bits of clay shriveled up.

I also made a taco...This is excellent for beginners aswell, just roll roll roll and fold.

I also made Masago, which is rice wrapped in seaweed coated with fish eggs (Caviar, as professionals like me call it...) 

We went ALL out! We made saturn, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, donuts...This kit enables a lot of ideas! Perfect for creativity...Not to mention it's delicious! Margo says it tastes like Hi-chew, but I have never tried Hi-Chew. But based on this kit, I will soon!

In total, this is everything we made... Actually, not everything, just the things we managed to save while munching them down. So, my rating for this kit is 10 out of 10! I love it, and theres lots of clay and ideas on the boxes, so let your imagination go WILD! Perfect for sleepovers and parties, as there are no real instructions and it's a Free-For-All game. One might even just un-wrap all the clays and eat them like candy bars...Even that is like making clay. Hey, candy bars are a thing!!!

I hope you enjoyed and make sure to stay tuned for cute, quick, affordable Christmas gifts coming soon.
